Chef Meg added flavor with parsley and capers to cut the salt, reduced the cooking time and used hearty plum tomatoes instead of canned.

You'll forget all about beef burgers once you try these. Serve with half a pita pocket, sliced tomato, and mixed greens for a quick and tasty dinner. Salty and rich feta is mixed with lean ground turkey and Greek herbs for a juicy and delicious burger.

This spring time stew is a must have at any Derby party! Traditionally made with pork, beef, chicken, and rabbit, I've added more veggies and lightened the meat. The best part: This is a slow cooker recipe, so the burgoo will be ready when the horses are loading into the gate.

This is my great-great-great grandmother's recipe and I'm 61 so it's been around a while. Notice there is none of that candied fruit junk in it. If you can't find venison, use chuck and defat it carefully! Venison has virtually no fat.

You can also use this to make mini-pies or handpies or filled cookies.
